Where to Look for Jobs

Department of English

The Ohio State University

If you are beginning your job hunt, consider looking for employment at the following institutions and organizations. While the institutions listed here are specific to the Columbus area, you can always search for similar institutions in the

city or area where you are seeking employment. For example, if you want to work for a nonprofit organization in the Chicago area, you might begin by performing a Google search on "Nonprofits in Chicago" or "Nonprofit Organizations in Chicago."

Note that when you visit organizations' websites, you will often need to look for links at the top or bottom of their homepages with labels like "Employment," "Careers," "Job Opportunities," etc. Also, note that the lists below are not

comprehensive, there are hundreds more organizations and companies in the Columbus area with which you might find

employment; these lists are just designed to help you begin thinking through your options.

Universities, Colleges, and Community Colleges

Look for "staff" or "administrative and professional" job listings on higher education websites.

Nonprofit Organizations

You might begin first by looking at the job listings on nonprofit association websites. For example, OANO (the Ohio Association of

Nonprofit Organizations) has a Career Center on its website where it posts job listings for nonprofit organizations across Ohio. Some

Ohio nonprofits, of course, will not list their jobs through OANO, so you'll still want to visit individual nonprofit websites to see if they

have any openings.
